Very good value

Overall a great value for those just getting started or for the value conscious. The integrated weight system is easy to use, there are metal D-rings unlike some lower cost BCDs' that use plastic rings and are subject to breakage. Appears to be well built. I just wish the zippers were metal. They're plastic and will break if abused even slightly, ask me how I know.....

Comfortable and easy to adjust

Pretty easy to adjust and get in and out of ,with plenty of front room. On the surface, it takes a bit of practice to avoid staying face forward.

Excellent BCD

This BCD works well, comfortable, streamlined and compact. The CQR2 weight system works great and has plenty of capacity for weights (I use 18 to 24 lbs depending on conditions and it accomodates them well). The boyancy capacity on the XL size is more than enough for me at 230lbs with Steel single tank. The only possible down side is that the bladder seems to narrow in the middle so that it is slow to trim when shifting from swimming on one side to the other. This is a great BC for the price.

About Genesis Origin BCD

The Genesis Origin is a lightweight jacket style weight integrated buoyancy compensator. It is the ideal entry level BCD for the budget conscious new diver. Durable and stable, the Origin is ideal for the dive center looking for an affordable weight integrated jacket for rental purposes. The two large zippered pockets are functional and accessible for all divers and instructors. The Origin BCD is made from durable fade resistant 420-Denier nylon fabric with a urethane lamination interior air cell with radio frequency (RF) welded seams for airtight integrity. BCD has a removable closed-cell neoprene pad on a rigid backpack.

Buoyancy control is made easy with the Genesis power inflator mechanism with cable activated pull dump at the left shoulder and a pull dump valve on right shoulder. The BCD is also equipped with a lower rear right pull dump/overpressure relief valve with manual pull for trimming of buoyancy when you are inverted in the water. Making the proper fit is easy with the BCD harness assembly consists of torso adjustable shoulder straps with an adjustable sternum strap and adjustable waist strap with cummerbund. All strap buckles are squeeze-style side-release buckles for easy donning and doffing.

This rugged design BCD jacket has an integrated 20 lbs. (9 kg) releasable weight system with 10 lbs. (4.5 kg) in each pocket. In addition, there are two rear non-releasable weight pockets that hold up to 5 lbs. (2.5 kg) each. BCD has optimized D-ring positions and packs flat for easy dive travel. The Genesis Origin BCD is well suited for local diving with lift capacities of 21.1 lbs. to 60.7 lbs. (12.3 kg to 27.5 kg) depending on sizes. BCD is black in color, available in multiple sizes includes a 3/8" threaded quick disconnect hose and comes with an owner's manual.
